Makhacheva's coach believes that the fight with Volkanovski will go the whole distance

The head coach of the AKA hall, Javier Mendez, shared his expectations from the upcoming fight of his ward Islam Makhachev vs Alexandra Volkanovski.

The confrontation between the Russian and the Australian will head the UFC 284 tournament, which will be held on February 12 in Perth (Australia). At stake will be the title of the promotion in the lightweight division, owned by Makhachev.

“Yes, I expect that in the end Islam will become the best fighter regardless of the weight category both in the UFC and in the world. This will happen after he defeats Alex, but not in the way that people think, expecting an early victory. I do not like it. It will be a five-round war”, – quotes the words of the expert MMA Weekly.
